    This place just opened so we decided to try it out, being that there is a shortage of good Chinese dessert places in SGV. We have to scan a QR code to get in line, but the wait wasn't too long and there's another QR code on the table for ordering. We tried the Peach Gum Supreme Fresh Milk, with coconut milk on the side and it tasted great maybe a little rich. Also the Traditional Ginger Milk Curd was fun because it's prepared at the table when milk is poured into the bowl and there is a small 3 minute hourglass for timing. After 3 minutes the curd came out perfect, light and gingery. The space is relatively large with lots of tables and an airy light white/brown decor. All in all a great place to visit again for some other menu items - just wish they had sesame balls!

    Glutinous rice dumplings and grass jelly

    Best Cantonese dessert restaurant in Southern California hands down. Their glutinous rice dumplings in grass jelly is to die for! The sweetness and the texture of the dumplings remind you of Chinese new years. Beware of the ginger steam eggs. They really show you the ginger in that dish. My nose totally opened up all night from the ginger lol. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely a new go to dessert shop in SGV for me now

    Incredible. This was my first time having desserts like this and everything was delicious. I went after 9 and there was a wait, but there is a lot of seating inside. It was packed but we were able to stand around for a bit waiting for other tables to finish so we could sit. It's open late too, so it's great to have as an option after dinner.

    A clean and modern Chinese dessert spot in San Gabriel with a great selection of desserts. Parking is convenient at Tawa Gateway Plaza. I stopped by around 8:30 PM and there were still plenty of seats, but after 9 PM, the place really started to fill up! There were many people waiting for seats and ordering takeout, so it definitely seems to be a popular late-night dessert spot. We tried: - Traditional Ginger Milk Curd The ginger flavor was nice and strong, which I really enjoyed. If you like ginger, this is definitely worth trying! - Triple Honey Lotus Pear Jelly Refreshing and enjoyable with a nice texture. Both desserts were good, but there were so many other desserts I wanted to try! I am glad to have a new Chinese dessert choice in SGV. Definitely will come back next time to explore more of the menu.

    All I see was sago...

    I was looking forward to trying this place. I wanted to like this place. Sadly, the desserts were somewhat sad looking lol nothing unique about the taste. The desserts were fresh. That was for sure. All the desserts we got were very plain. Like wth?? It was like blending/smashing fresh taro and just putting it in a bowl with sago and yam balls...they didn't even bother to put any other efforts into the desserts. No special honey or special milk to make it unique. The ginger curd was nicely presented. I thought it would be good. However, it was pretty watery. We were advised to wait for 3 minutes, which we did. Didn't help much. Only the ginger flavor was noticeable...again, nothing special. I advised the guy taking our order to make the desserts with less sago. Yet, both bowls had so much sago. If they couldn't customize, they should have said so. We could have ordered something else. $10+ for each dessert item...smh I might give this place another try if someone I know wanna go...me alone..no way!

    Not much of a sweets person myself however I came to check out their Herbal Soups selection! We tried the abalone fish maw and coconut chicken soup alongside a grass jelly desert. Def really hoping to see more herbal soups or herbal tea spots open up around this area! If anyone knows of any let me know (: The soups were really good just like how mom and grandma would make it. If you love coconut the coconut chicken soup is a MUST try. Grass jelly desert was okay the sweetener wasn't that sweet (coming from a person who likes deserts Not Too Sweet) but def on a healthier side. Ambiance had rattan modern decor which made it clean and welcoming. Staff was also super sweet and patient with us as we explored the menu. Def would be back for the nourishing soups (:

    Newly opened Cantonese style dessert place on valley blvd, where test station used to be. Service is friendly and attentive. All the desserts we ordered are delicious and refreshing. Nice spot to try out some different style of sweets after meal.

    Bad things to talk about regarding this place first of all the parking is pretty bad they have a small narrow alley for parking in the back and street parking so that's probably the first thing the store is pretty large multiple seating areas and they try to have a lot of QR code ordering and reserving and getting in line for a table service is well it's a Chinese place so that's the type of service that you will get if you know what I mean the food taste okay the portions are adequate it's not excessive it's not generous it's just okay and there is a small selection of hot foods as well and they have

    Hot and new, Sweet Fortune Dessert is singular. The dessert menu is expansive, ranging from traditional ginger pudding to refreshing drinks and snacks. My mom and I were excited to try and the ambiance is unlike any other. We ordered the traditional ginger pudding and cold tofu pudding. Both had a great milk consistency. The ginger pudding is around 30 minutes to prepare. This time passed by quickly and the presentation was sure worth the wait. Everything is made and presented with intention. The ginger pudding wasn't too sweet or sour, perfect on all fronts. This spot is great for groups of all sizes with direct access to the back exit to the parking lot.

    We Checked out Sweet Fortune Dessert after dinner, a newly opened modern Cantonese & Hong Kong-style dessert shop tucked inside the TAWA Mall on Valley Blvd. The interior is clean, modern, bright, and welcoming, making it a very chill spot to drop by for a late post-meal sweet fix. Atmosphere: Very authentic vibe where the staff speak Cantonese and prepare everything using traditional methods. Service: Super friendly team, though the desserts came out fairly slow despite it being an order-at-the-counter setup. Crowd & Availability: Found this spot through Instagram, and it's clearly getting popular fast. Be prepared for a line and keep in mind that popular items can sell out quickly on weekend nights. The Food Their menu has tons of choices specializing in traditional, chewy, and light sweets that aren't overly sugary: Signature Dessert Bowl (Lotus Seed, Grass Jelly & Red Bean): Refreshing and cooling with nice traditional ingredients, but the base felt a bit too watery for my preference, personally still prefer the richer texture and depth at Meet Fresh. Parking: Easy parking available in the back lot of the plaza. A solid addition to the San Gabriel dessert scene if you want classic HK/Cantonese flavors that aren't overly sweet, just come with a bit of patience during peak hours!

    The actual dessert looks very different in style and size than the menu photos. I ordered the honey Lotus pear jelly, ginger milk curd, and water chestnut sweet soup. The taste for all 3 was underwhelming, the ginger milk had a bitter after taste. Would rather eat Makkee Dessert for HK desserts across the street. Inside is nice with plenty of tables. There is parking behind and also in the big plaza next door.

    Okay taste, service is below average. Place are clean Never told us that this is cold. When we asked about this they refused to exchanged an hot item for us. I mean, nothing wrong but can surely be better. Parking is hard to find. At night very crowded. Won't come back for the 2nd time.

    I'm gonna be a hater and let this place know your AI photos at the front are ugly and does a disservice to your desserts because some of them look unappetizing. I see customers' real photos and they are 10x better Personally won't be coming back here because of the long wait times and unpleasant food photos. We did get takeout and it was all right.

    Can't come to SGV without a visit to Salju Desserts. Absolutely the best shaved snow around…read more They're a tiny place, but clean with two seating areas. You can order either at a kiosk or go the the counter to order there. They offer an extensive selection of snow flavors, syrups, and toppings. There's also a variety of other desserts and beverages, but I have never been able to resist the snow. Be aware that the small size is large enough for 2 or 3 people to share, and the medium is bigger still. On the several times I've been here, service has always been both cheerful and speedy. A real pleasure. I live quite a distance away, an hour or more depending on traffic, but plan to return many more times. It's that good.

    I usually only write reviews if I think the place deserves 5 stars, but now I will start reviewing…read moreeven when I think the place deserves lower ratings to help out the community of eaters pick the right choice! My friends and I chose Salju Dessert for some nice dessert because the ratings of this location seemed pretty good, but sadly we were disappointed. We chose the milk flavor and pandan. The milk flavor wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. The pandan on the other hand was very bitter... We thought it may have been the toppings but figured out it was the pandan flavor. My friend described it as a medicine bitter taste, which I could agree on. We made a complaint and the employees happily switched it out for us for another milk flavor (maybe we should've chosen another flavor to try.) Toppings... the toppings were extremely expensive for such a small portion. It was around like $1.49 per topping??? Which is honestly pretty crazy. The toppings are set on the side in those small plastic ketchup containers. 4 Oreo cookies for $1.49, 2-3 buttercups smashed into pieces for $1.49, 1.5 strawberry sliced for $1.49, 1/8 of a banana sliced for $1.49... a container of chocolate syrup $1.49 you can imagine the rest that we added. Those portion sizes and prices are messed up lol The total was $35+ for 2 smalls with additional toppings. Overall, I don't think we will be coming back here for the shaved ice. There's definitely better options out there. The place was pretty busy too, maybe there's other items on the menu worth trying or they got bamboozled by the ratings... but in this economy, the presentation, taste, and price was not worth it and we wish we spent our money elsewhere. I usually take photos to share to friends on snap/ social media, but it was so disappointing I didn't even take any pics to show y'all. Very mid tier. Thank you to the staff who replaced our pandan though!

    Dessert spot that specializes in soft serve and taiyaki. I came in at a time when it wasn't busy,…read moreso my service was really quick and friendly. The place was pretty chill as well. I had just eaten dinner so I've kept it pretty simple here. I ordered the swirl with pure milk and pineapple dole whip. A simple yet tasty and satisfying combo. The serving size was pretty generous, especially relative to the price. Just a great place to grab some quick soft serve in the area.

    It looks aesthetically appealing in their photos online but it wasn't as good as it looked. Saw…read morethis off Yelp so decided to try it. We were the only customers. The girl working the counter was a young girl just getting by her summer day job. She was nice but timid. It was our first time there and a little more energy on her end could've been better. Ordered the ube swirl, pineapple dole whip, mung bean taiyaki, and a custard one togo. The taiyaki that goes onto the ice cream is a lot bigger than one we ordered to go. I thought it would be as big, but when I got it, it was so much smaller and flat. Also, the taiyaki that goes on top of the ice cream was old. It had been sitting there for a while or was made earlier as it was hard and difficult to bite. The red bean inside I also assumed was a paste like how they make the Japanese version, however there were whole pieces in there. It was okay, but I thought they'd be like paste. Overall, the only thing that was good was the ube swirl and the pineapple dole whip. It was also extremely warm in the shop, like no AC in the triple digits summer heat. Had to eat it elsewhere. I most likely won't be back.
